Verity Sharpe

[DracoM]

Has she been sacked? Seems months since I heard her, or of her.

She's still a regular on Late Junction, which I think is now her sole R3 activity - and which she seems to alternate weeks with Nick Luscombe.

She has active interests elsewhere, of course - very useful for gardeners:

"Sharp", by the way - no final "e".

Apols for mis-spell.
Good Grief! Verity as garden expert.
How long as that been going on?

She got her RHS Diploma in 2012, and I think began her blog not long after that. (Surprised she hasn't turned up on Gardener's World!)

I've seen her on t'tele in her potting shed.....

She has one of the great voices and microphone techniques on Radio 3 - wish we heard more of her.

PS - isn't there already a Verity thread?

Verity is my favourite broadcaster of all time. She's responsible for my lifelong devotion to Rufus Wainwright and Georgs Pelēcis.

Are they her children?

Shurely, a rose and a variety of apricot...?

On radio 4, part of the Natural History series, VS could be heard in this episode on Ferns

and fascinating it was too...
no music though.
perhaps....

(obviously no Late Junction last night because we mere listeners couldn't have that AND Jazz....)

In fact , most unusually, she did In Tune last night - and very well too.

Thanks Heldenleben, completely missed that.

Yes indeed, and exasperatingly, the iPlayer [woops! mea culpa ] SOUNDS App had Mr erm...Rafferty + a.n.other, and the word Verity was nowhere. Mr R is a bete noir for me, but with VS in the chair, I'd have listened until the yuktape.
